Abstract (en)

The expense of transporting materials and things which can withstand very great deceleration is greatly reduced by having such cargoes (2) impact into much loose material located within a large crash-containing chamber (11) which is located on the Moor or is in a low Earth orbiting satellite. Said orbiting satellite can maintain a somewhat constant altitude above the Earth by being impacted by cargoes from the Earth and by cargoes from non-terrestrial sources such as the Moon and/or astroids.
